Palm Beach County Convention Center: the best of everything for every event.

The new Palm Beach County Convention Center, which opened in November 2003, is centrally located on the corner of Okeechobee Boulevard and Florida Avenue in the heart of thriving West Palm Beach, Florida. Ideally situated across from the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts and CityPlace, a $600 million shopping, dining and entertainment district, the center is just one mile from 1-95 and three miles from Palm Beach International Airport.

Setting a new standard for conventions and meetings, the two-level, multifunctional facility features state-of-the-art technology, flexible meeting space, attractive decor, and detailed personal service within its 350,000 square feet. Featuring a 100,000-square-foot exhibit hall that can be divided into two equal sections, the convention center has an additional 19 meeting rooms, which encompass 23,000 square feet, and a 25,000-square-foot ballroom, all serviced by an exceptional culinary staff from the largest kitchen in Palm Beach County at 7,800 square feet.

All meeting and exhibit spaces are equipped with state-of-the-art wireless technology. You'll find an array of four screen split plasma screens, enhanced Internet speed, and the infrastructure to support the most intricate and demanding fiber optic requirements. National conventions, trade shows, award celebrations, art and antique fairs, and a vast array of expos have been held at the convention center.

Surrounded by water and offering an average annual temperature of 78 degrees, Palm Beach County is already an alluring destination for meetings and events. A variety of distinctive attractions, cultural venues, top-notch festivals, world-class shopping, 160 public and private golf courses, deep-sea fishing, boating, scuba diving, and 47 miles of beaches add to the appeal that has earned this destination a lasting and laudable title among business and leisure travelers.
